Genevieve Taylor

Food writer and stylist

This was given to me by my mum when I packing to go to university in 1992, I think mainly to stop me sliding her copy into my bags. This was always the book she turned to for making sweet treats; creamy vanilla fudge, rock hard toffee, crumbly coconut ice and squidgy peppermint creams - we loved them all and I associate this book with celebrations - Christmas, Halloween, birthdays….. I still use it to make the milk fudge at Christmas pretty much every year, enlisting the help of my kids just as mum did with me and my brother decades ago.
